Nature's Theatre

Some time after dawn and failing to abide by the laws of conservation of Velvia, these shafts of light came through so 2 more sheets were used! Foolish not to when you are presented with a scene like this.

This was also using the Cooke PS945 lens but as a conventional lens by stopping down to f32 1/2. Front drop, rear rise some tilt and 4 stops of ND grad - plus some magic from the sun.

The backlit crops, poppies and sheep really glow under the loupe on the lightbox.

In addition to tilt and rear rise, you have to factor in front (my jaw) drop, which is achieved quite nicely, here...

Very nice.
 
It is really beautiful, a masterpiece. The print must look overwhelming.
 
Mmmmm...crrreeeaaammmy liiiiight...

Oh ya...all that exposure, subject, and composition stuff is pretty nice too :smile:

WOuld you mind posting crap for a change? DO you ever miss? This image is very smooth, and dreamy.
 
Wow thank you all very much. I appreciate your comments and making the effort to post.

Having gone from 'Billy no-mates" this has been a welcome flood of emails!

One of the beauties of LF is the movements, I smile and wonder if Ebony will soon be offering the Jaw and Bowel options courtesey of joey and mark! Yes I do make mistakes, regrettably not always learning from them, but we don't want this to become easy do we? Where is the fun in that?
 
I don't know what to say, I am blown away by this beautiful piece of work. I really love this so much. thanks
